"Kiss Me, Kill Me"

"While confronting his unfaithful boyfriend Dusty blacks-out. When he comes to, his boyfriend was murdered and he's the prime suspect."

If the title didn't get your attention I knew the above tidbit would. Sounds intriguing! Want to know more about this movie and how you can be a part of it? Read on, if you dare...

"Kiss Me, Kill Me” stars Van Hansis (“As the World Turns,” “Eastsiders”) and Gale Harold, who is playing a gay character for the first time since his legendary role as Brian Kinney on Showtime’s groundbreaking “Queer as Folk.”
Gay Again, Gale Harold

Directed by Casper Andreas (“Going Down In LA-LA Land,” “The Big Gay
Musical,”), from a screenplay by David Michael Barrett (“Such Good People,”
“Bad Actress”), picture boasts some powerhouse indie talent: Willam Belli
(“RuPaul’s Drag Race”), Kit Williamson (“Eastsiders,” “Mad Men”), Independent
Spirit nominee, Yolonda Ross (“Treme”), Tom Lenk (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”),
Brianna Brown (“Devious Maids”), Jonathan Lisecki (“Gayby”), Michael Maize
(“True Blood”), Craig Robert Young (“NCIS: Los Angeles”), Jackie Monahan
(“Foxy Merkins,” “Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same”), as well as
Matthew Ludwinski and Allison Lane (“Going Down in LALA Land”).


It's Van Hansis
“I’m beyond thrilled about the fantastic cast we have assembled,” says director
Andreas. “That we managed to attach such great talent is a testament to David’s
sensational screenplay." He adds, "I can’t wait to get started on the production
and get to work with these wonderful actors, including my two “Going Down in
LA-LA Land” stars, Matthew and Allison.”

“Casper is a world-class filmmaker,” says screenwriter Barrett, “It’s going to be a
really fun ride seeing him, and this spectacular group of talent, bring my script to life.”

“Kiss Me, Kill Me” is a contemporary Alfred Hitchcock/Agatha Christie-style “whodone-it,” with the mystery centered on Dusty who confronts his unfaithful
boyfriend and blacks-out, only to wake up to find the boyfriend murdered and
he’s the prime suspect.

Director Andreas and screenwriter Barrett are producing. Their 30-day campaign
is looking for $100,000 and offering perks that range from digital downloads, to
being an extra, a speaking part, and different producing levels.

They Are "Such Good People"

We're Here, We're Good, Get Used To It: Randy Harrison & Michael Urie

"So we're different colors, And we're different creeds, And different people have different needs" - People Are People Depeche Mode

The above mentioned phrase is the best way in my opinion to surmise the funny and charming indie flick Such Good People

Starring some really good people themselves Michael Urie (Ugly Betty) as Richard Nearly and Randy Harrison (Queer As Folk) as Alex Reardon a gay couple, that's right you heard me, a gaaaaaaaay couple as the central characters of this screwball comedy.

Referring back to the Depeche Mode quote the two leads happen to be gay, them being gay is not the focus of the story and there are plenty of other characters who are not gay in the film, which is a regular melting pot of "different colors, creeds and needs."

Including Lance Bass, who was sporting blue hair at the premiere I attended in Westwood, CA, yeah I know I should have gotten a photo of that.
Feeling Blue Lance?
Luckily there is Google and I did a search and found a shot, although it is not from the premiere it is of Mr. Bass with said hair color, feast your eyes, people.

The cast also includes Carrie Wiita & James Urbaniak as Alex's conniving half sister and brother in-law Dr. Paige & Cooper Whitehead, Ph.D

Not to mention the fabulous Ana Ortiz (Ugly Betty, Devious Maids) as Detective Diane Kershman. A word of caution don't F#@k with the porpoises when she is on the case.
Ana Ortiz Is On The Case
With an astute screenplay by David Michael Barrett based on a story by him and Greg Sterling.

This SAG (Screen Actors Guild) Ultra Low Budget film is one of the best examples of making movies with a shoestring amount of cash I have ever seen. 

A tip and a nod to the Director, Stewart Wade for his adept insight, and keeping it real.

Such Good People is Such A Good Movie, seek it out like a missile on video.
